New shocks, fuel lines, brake pipes and cylinders this weekend

[Alfastrut]

Back to welding next weekend

[kammatic]

Looking good, it's motivating me to crack on with mine and get it on the road... It's been mothballed for about 5 years now

[Alfastrut]

Thanks kammatic. Your car looks pretty good shouldn't take much to get it back on the road

[kammatic]

Cheers, she's had a fair bit done..
Is that a 33 rear axle under there? Have you gone out board front brakes and using the 33 axle / brakes / handbrake?

[Alfastrut]

Yes it's got a 33 rear end. The front is still standard. I preferred the hand brake on the back. It was a lot more fun in weather like what we are having at the moment.

Back to welding

[Alfastrut]

I could not think how to fix the rear suspension mount and then came up with this

Nicely done.
It was the only way you could get to it.
Top marks.

And all done from the top so no weld burns! That's always a bonus.

Photo opportunity

[alfadave]

Looking at the photo, you wouldn't think the sud and 33 were basically the same car underneath?

[Alfastrut]

No you wouldn't. The sud looks tiny.

[rsfruitbat]

I used to rally a Sud. I've rallied a 33 since 1994. Didn't think there was as much difference as the pic shows. Wife has got a 147 and that makes the Sud
look like a pedal car!

The sud is a little further back so looks smaller. It's looking way high compared to the 33 though. The 33 is lowered a lot but I wouldn't have thought that much.

[Alfastrut]

Suds got a test

[Alfastrut]

Driven it first hundred miles in 16 years and the speedometer cable not even dropped out

[Kegsti66]

Excellent stuff !!
Hope you had the same sort of weather Northants has had today. Perfect to drive in the Derbyshire dales.

It's been lovely today. Had so much fun. I had forgotten how nice the sud is to drive the sound!

Red grill makes a difference
